Hillary as VP
by RM77

Pundits are sure that the top three choices for VP for the Democrats are Bayh, Biden, & Gov. Keane. However, there are hints that Hillary could be the real choice.

Yesterday Gov. Ed Rendall of PA appeared on Fox News and speculated that it is possible to have Hillary as Obama's running mate. Rendall bases his theory on the fact that Obama admires Abe Lincoln, who chose his bitter rival as VP. That sounds logical because the only candidate Obama has personally interviewed is Hillary in the presence of Caroline Kennedy, who heads the Search Committee. John Kennedy chose Lyndon Johnson with whom he had a Convention floor fight. I read that Obama has no campaign organization in Arkansas. Why? If he wants to win Arkansas, Hillary will make it easy. Additionally Hillary can help win Pennsylvania, Florida, and West Virginia for Obama. Nancy Pelosi has said yesterday that Hillary is gracious. This is the same Pelosi who had asked Hillary to quit a few months ago. So what has changed?

Ed Rendall may be right. Obama-Hillary will be an unstoppable ticket, considering that right now Obama and McCain are tied in the daily tracking poll..
